After almost four years (can't you believe that?!), my little hamster has passed. I'll never know what made this little guy last, but apparently he had a good life with us. Burying him was pretty sad, and one of my dogs was especially fond of him...as odd as that seems. He had his head in the cage waiting to see the hamster. I guess he didn't understand that he was gone, even though we let him get a final sniff. Anyway, just thought I'd share.
